win32_delete_service — Deletes a service entry from the SCM database

### Beschreibung

win32_delete_service(string `$servicename`, string `$machine` = `null`): void

Attempts to delete a service from the SCM database. Administrative privileges are required for this to succeed.

This function really just marks the service for deletion. If other processes (such as the Services Applet) are open, then the deletion will be deferred until those applications are closed. If a service is marked for deletion, further attempts to delete it will fail, and attempts to create a new service with that name will also fail.

### Parameter-Liste

`servicename`

  The short name of the service.

`machine`

  The optional machine name. If omitted, the local machine will be used.

### Rückgabewerte

Es wird kein Wert zurückgegeben.

Prior to version 1.0.0, wurde im Erfolgsfall `WIN32_NO_ERROR` zurückgegeben und `false`, wenn es ein Problem mit den Parametern gab oder einen Win32-Fehlercode im Fehlerfall.

### Fehler/Exceptions

A ValueError is thrown if the value of `servicename` parameter is empty.

A Win32ServiceException is thrown on error.
